How Tall Is Tall? Compositionality, Statistics, and Gradable Adjectives
What is tall? Like many words, tall is fundamentally compositional in meaning — whether an item is tall depends on the statistical properties of the set of items it is being compared to. Despite preliminary evidence to this effect, no mathematical models of how tall operates in a given context have ever been empirically evaluated. We compare a number of statistical models to adults and children...
متن کاملConceptualizing Adjectives Conceptualizing Adjectives Conceptualizing Adjectives
We specify a model for the conceptual interpretation of relative adjectives (like \big"), which covers a crucial aspect of the underlying comprehension process { the comparison to a norm that is associated with a comparison class. Building on an elaborate domain ontology and knowledge about intercorrelations, comparison classes are dynamically created depending on the context in which adjectiva...
متن کاملNouns as Adjectives and Adjectives as Nouns
Many languages have morphological devices to turn a noun into an adjective. Often this morphology is genuinely derivational in that it adds a semantic predicate such as ‘havingN’ (proprietive), ‘lacking-N’ (caritive’), ‘similar-to-N’ (similitudinal) and so on. In other cases the denominal adjective expresses some vaguely defined notion of possession as in Russian Ivan-ovo (detstvo) ‘Ivan’s (chi...
متن کاملImplementing WordNet for Swedish Adjectives
Introduction A Swedish version of WordNet was created and around 300 Swedish adjectives, mainly from the semantic field of strength, were implemented. This paper is a documentation of the implementation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibilities of applying WordNet to Swedish and to illuminate general problems with WordNet as well as specific problems in the handling of adje...
متن کاملClustering Adjectives for Class Discovery
This paper presents an exploratory data analysis in lexical acquisition for adjective classes using clustering techniques. From a theoretical point of view, this approach provides large-scale empirical evidence for a sound classification. From a computational point of view, it helps develop a reliable automatic subclassification method. Results show that the features used in theoretical work ca...
